Everyone at Highbury and all the fans including me were looking forward to the new season with great excitement and expectation after the team’s success in the Fairs Cup. However Arsenal couldn’t have had a tougher start to the 1970-71 season. Away to the Champions Everton at a raucous Goodison Park. The Gunners were one […]
Despite the fact that this was a poor Newcastle side, it was integral that Arsenal would go into their season-defining game against Villareal with a positive mindset and the performance provided on Tyneside was definitely required. In this piece, an analysis of Arsenal’s win against the Magpies is discussed. In possession In the absence of […]
Quicker, why quicker? POSITIVES, NEEDS and HOPES Watching that performance yesterday I had two main emotions…….. relaxed and frustrated.

The ninety-one goals in his past three seasons did a lot […]
I have been at an Arsenal match as accredited media before, but not at The Emirates, so last night was a first for me. Consequently, I feel compelled to endeavour to write something of merit, beyond a basic match report. Of course, that will not be problematic as last night was about so much more […]
